Suicide or a stranger In Roanoke,
fgneciai teieora,n 20 the Dispctchl


ROANOKE, VA, April 2.--One OF the
coolest and most deliberate suicides on
record occurred here to-day. Edward
A. Richards. his brother w. n. Rich
ards, and the latter's wife arrived here
yesterday from Lyons, n. Y, and regis
tered at the Wolff House, with the in
tention Of opening q stationery store ON
Salem avenue, where a place had al
ready been rented some two weeks ago
by them. They had recently sold out
their stationery stock at Lyons at D
good profit and thought this city 0
promising place for business in that
line. This morning about 10 o'clock
the younger brother started to the post
Office, and soon after he left Edward
complained of headache and told his
sister-in-law that he would go to HE
room and Ire down. About II O'Clock
w. n. Richards returned from down
town and, not being able to rouse
his brother, he broke open the door,
when the sight that met his gaze
nearly froze him with horror. Lying
on the floor in a pool Of blood was his
brother with his throat cut from ear to
ear and cold and stiff in death. Near
him was the bloody razor with which
the deed had been committed, and in
waste-bucket at the washstand was a
quart of blood, showing that the dead
man had stood before the mirror, and
after cutting his throat leaned over the
bucket as long as he could to keep the
blood from the floor. finally fainting
and falling over on his face, in which
position he died. The questions of
the coroner and inquiries of Others
failed to discover any assignable cause
for the rash act. Deceased was forty
years old and was unmarried, aud his
aged parents are still living in Lyons

INTERSTATE COMMERCE..
Some Of the Difficulties OF the Law
Discussed by the Commission.
TRu telenrnnh 70 the Dis match

| lBy telegraph to the Dtspatch.l
WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 1.-The
Inter State Commission began active
work at IL O'Clock this morning. At
that time Ex-Governor Rufus b. Bull
lock, Or. r. ID. Spaulding, and Mr.. S.
| L. Woodson, the committee appointed
by the Atlanta Chamber Of Commerce
| "to cooperate with the Southern Rail
way and Steamship Association in seek
ing such liberal Interpretation or modi-
fication Of the operation of the inter
State commerce net as may be deemed
necessary for the protection of the
manufacturing and commercial interest
| of this and other southern societies.
were granted a hearing. Governor
| Bullock, speaking for his associates and
| himself, thanked the commission for
the opportunity afforded and read the
a paper asking for an order that the
rates of freight now in force as EN-
bodied in the tariff of the association
be declared of force until further orders
from the commission.
The showing made by a comparative
statement submitted in the paper may be
judged by the fact that the rates from
New York to Atlanta, Montgomery,
Selma, Rome, Dalton, and Chat
tanooga will be increased from
STA TO Sal {; to Macon, from Sl09 to
Sl35; to Augusta, from $50 to 1921;
from Cincinnati to Atlanta, from Sl07
to S12G; to Macon and Augusta, from
9107 to STAG.
The chairman of the commission.
Judge Cooley, remarked interrogatively
that he understood the application TO
be, in part at least, in support OF the
application which had been made by
the railroad companies for permission
to charge less for long than for short
hauls.
Governor Bullock responded aflirma-
lively.
Sat present" queried the chairman,
"the railroads are charging less for
longer than for "a shorter distance ?"
Governor Bullock said this was the
case where it was necessary to meet the
circumstance of water transportation.
The chairman asked the opinion OF
the committee with respect to the au-
thority of the commission to make the
order asked of them.
Governor Bullock replied that as they
read the provision of the fourth section
they understood the commission had
the authority.
The railroads, he added, had informed
them that unless they made their rates
at once they would be liable to penalties
under the law. Contracts had been
made by merchants for delivery three
months hence, based upon the rates
which prevailed at the time. Now to
suddenly raise these rates would prove
disastrous.
A brief colloquy, during which, in
reply to queries by Colonel Walker and
Mr.. Morrison, the position of the COM
mittee in respect to some details was
elaborated, ended the hearing.
The whole proceeding was an infor-
mality, hearing being granted at this
time assfayorto the gentlemen who had
come from a distance TO present their
case. No formal consideration OF this
question or any other Will be under
taken before the 9Th instant, on which
date the law goes into effect.
